"Hmph, it's a good thing that she's not the princess born to the queen. With the queen's temperament, she doesn't care about anything and only cares about the second princess. If the second princess had been pointed at the nose yesterday, I'm afraid the queen would have called Junyi County on the spot. The hostess and his wife can't get off the stage," Shen Chuliu said.
"That servant doesn't know. Anyway, I think that if she dares to bully the Sixth Prince, Master, you will definitely not be polite." Zizhu said.
"Haha, that's not the case. The age difference is too big to be bullied. It's not always said that a son will follow his mother. I hope this kid will have a bit of my temper when he grows up." It's best to protect yourself.
The eldest princess is just too weak.
In Ci Rui Palace, Concubine Feng Shu frowned: "Look at her daughter's character, how can she be worthy of the second prince?"
Empress Dowager Feng sighed: "If you have a bad temper, you can train it. It's rare to have such a background."
"She is of high birth, but Princess Qinghua has been dead for many years. Their family is just an earl." Concubine Feng Shu was not satisfied.
"The title is low, but Jiang Han is about to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to serve. What does the Ministry of Household Affairs do? The emperor trusts them. Isn't it better to have real power than a title? Now the family is in trouble, wouldn't it be good if there was such a party to help? "Empress Dowager Feng said.
"My grandfather is still the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, and he is still the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He is still the Duke of the country. My father is still the third-rank minister... and my uncle is still..."
"Okay!" Empress Dowager Feng interrupted with a frown: "Look at the Feng family. Among the three generations, has anyone entered the cabinet? Has anyone entered the Hanlin Academy?"
"Forget it about the cabinet, those people in the Hanlin Academy are just writing documents for the emperor." Concubine Feng Shu was not convinced.
"You have really studied for nothing. Those are the emperor's close ministers! The official position is low, maybe as high as the sky! Now that we have a cabinet, everything is easy. No matter how powerful your grandfather is, he is not half as good as before. You still don't understand!"
"Then...then Jiang Han can't join the cabinet?"
"He didn't get in, but he is a person trusted by the emperor. It will happen sooner or later, not to mention, even if he doesn't get in, it's better than... Forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me. All you need to know is that if the second prince can marry someone like this Wife, there are benefits. You don't want the second prince to be a prince, right?" Queen Mother Feng said.
"Then... then I'll listen to you." Feng Shufei herself had no idea.
She imagined that the second prince's concubine must be extremely outstanding, but looking around, there were not many such families.
To have a title and real power...
"The children are still young now, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's keep in touch like this first. When the time comes, the emperor will grant a marriage. It's a pity that I originally supported Han Xiaoyi's mother and son, but they were an unlucky couple." Empress Dowager Feng said before So angry.
"It's not my family after all." Feng Shufei still complained about this matter.
"Who am I for? Well, you don't have to worry. You are my niece. The second prince is the closest to me. He is from the blood of our Feng family. Can I ignore him? You should be more sensible in the future and stop doing random things. Okay. Now that the second prince is old, everything should be planned for him. When the prince is over ten years old, he can be recommended by the courtiers. "
Concubine Feng Shu nodded: "Yes, I understand, aunt, don't worry."
"Well let's go back."
Concubine Feng Shu thanked her and left Cirui Palace.
After she left, Aunt Zhuang said: "Although the second prince is almost ten years old, but... the princes below are still young. I'm afraid the emperor will not discuss the matter of establishing a prince so early."
"Hey..." Queen Mother Feng sighed: "So I need to support a little prince. How about the fifth prince?"
"The fifth prince is in good health. Because her biological mother does not favor her, no one pays attention to this child." Aunt Zhuang said.
"I hope he will live up to his expectations. It's just that this kid... still has to find someone with no foundation." The Lu family is also a tutor, so naturally he is not bad.
However, although the Lu family has appeal, they have no real power after all.
"It's not that both Yu Xiaoyi and Wen Xiaoyi are pregnant. There is always a prince. Yu Xiaoyi has a higher status, but Wen Xiaoyi has no support at all. She even offended Concubine Kangde." Aunt Zhuang said.
"Well, this is a good candidate. She is also an old man, and she is still just Xiaoyi." Feng Shufei smiled: "Let's think of ways to help her raise children as soon as possible." Grandma Zhuang thought that would be difficult.
Early in the morning on the first day of February, Yu Xiaoyi took action. Everyone had just arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace. After hearing this, everyone simply went to Chaohuixuan together.
But not so fast, until noon there was no movement.
The queen then asked everyone to disperse, go back to have a meal and rest, and come back in the afternoon.
She also left first, she was too lazy to act too virtuous.
As expected, it was already late in the afternoon for Shen Chuliu to go, and he still had no intention of giving birth.
Some people are quick and some are slow when it comes to giving birth. She gave birth to the sixth prince very quickly.
Of course, there are also faster methods. It can be done in half an hour even if it hurts to death.
However, there are also many people who are born three days and three nights.
After all, Yu Xiaoyi was not that stupid. She finally gave birth when it was dark, and the emperor had just arrived after a busy day.
Then Po Wen came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen, Yu Xiaoyi has given birth to the fourth princess. Mother and daughter are safe."
Qi Yixiu laughed when he heard this: "Okay! Reward! Yu Xiaoyi has meritorious service in giving birth and is promoted to... a beauty. It sounds good. What does the queen think?"
The queen smiled and said: "It sounds good, so let's keep it that way. I was thinking that the fourth princess is still young, why not ask Yu Meiren to raise her for a few months?"
The emperor did not favor Yu Meiren, but he praised her like this only because of her father who served in the cabinet. Since this was the case, the queen naturally did not hesitate to praise her.
"Well, we'll just keep her here for now, and then we'll move out in half a year. Tell Yu Meiren to take good care of herself, and I'll come see her in a few days."
Everyone responded with a smile. They received rewards, were promoted, and gave birth to a princess.
The next day, the fourth princess was given the name Qi Jing. Received many rewards.
If the emperor gives more, everyone will naturally give more.
For a time, Zhaohuixuan became a hot spot.
Needless to say how many people in the palace were envious of him.
Maybe there was a bit of drought last year, but this year it started to rain after the Chinese New Year.
It was raining and raining non-stop throughout February, causing the sixth prince to break out in rash.
Fortunately, it was not serious. Shen Chuliu gave up his things and kept his quilt smoked by charcoal fire all day long to keep it dry every day. He was fine in a few days.
However, in Ruiqing Palace, the second prince, the fifth prince, and the third princess did not escape. They were all covered in rashes.
The second prince was okay. After all, he was older and could easily take medicine. The two younger ones cried and cried all day long.
Imperial Physician Zhao was afraid that the Sixth Prince would also relapse, so he came to see him the next day. However, seeing that Shen Chuliu took such good care of him, he smiled and said, "Children rarely have this problem when they are young. It is rare to have a good diet and a good body. The Sixth Prince has a strong physique. The empress took very good care of me again, I don’t think it will happen again this year.”
